BLOG:
In this episode we learn that Ross’s lesbian ex-wife Carol is pregnant with his child. We also learn more about Chandler’s sarcasm, as well as Monica’s obsession with cleaning. We also are introduced to “Ugly Naked Guy”, as he gets a thigh master. We learn about Joey’s eating habits. We are introduced to Ross and Monica’s parents, and are told how Monica was chubby as a kid. We also learn that Phoebe has a twin sister, although they don’t speak.
Relationships:
Ross is confronted by his ex-wife Carol
You may notice, as I did immediately, that “Carol” isn’t “Carol”… in a sense. In the first episode “Carol” is played by the actress Anita Barone.
Anita was a regular cast member of Carol and Company before appearing on Friends. After one episode, “Carol” was replaced by the actress Jane Sibbett, who we are more familiar with and recognize as “Carol”. Anita has gone on to star/appear in Seinfeld (Television Series), Just Friends (Film), The Jeff Foxworthy Show (Season 1) and Curb Your Enthusiasm (Season 7).
Rachel also ends things with Barry, by returning her engagement ring
Favorite Joke:
My favorite joke in this episode comes from both Chandler and Phoebe. Chandler, Joey, Monica, and Phoebe are all at Monica’s apartment watching “Three’s Company” on TV.
Chandler: “Oh, I think this is the episode of Three’s Company where there’s some kind of misunderstanding...”
Phoebe: “Then I’ve seen this one!” and she changes the channel
Trivia:
Rachel: “Has anyone seen my engagement ring?!”
Phoebe: “Yeah! It’s beautiful!”
Rachel loses her engagement ring and the others try to help her find it. Who finds it, and where?
A. Phoebe, in the Couch
B. Chandler, in the Lasagna
C. Rachel, in her Pocket
D. None of the above
